Is proactive supposed to burn/sting?

ok I just got proactive recently ( the one with the refining mask, not the spin brush thing) and have used it every morning and right before sleeping for about 5-7 days when all of a sudden, it starts to burn and sting my face!! this hasn't happened before so I would really be thankful for some good answers :'D. also I'm pretty sure I have sensitive skin if that's part of the problem...

do you use the refining mask every day? it makes your skin itch. even if your not your drying your skin out but you should get used to it after a week or two. did it come with the green tea moisturizer?

I just started using it again a few weeks ago..before it didn't have the tea moisturizer. I don't use mine cause almost anything makes me break out but if your kit came with it try it. it may help the itch and dryness.

If you have sensitive skin then the formula might be too strong. Don't use it for a while and maybe use a formula made for sensitive skin. Hope it helps
